Luke 2:16-21

Reflection

Happy New Year’s! We have reached the end of one year and the beginning of another. Take some time today to reflect on what you would like your spiritual goals to be for this year. Perhaps it will be praying a daily Rosary, journaling, praying more often, going to daily Mass, joining a Bible study, or reading a spiritual book.

Follow Mary’s example of reflecting upon these things in your heart. Ask her for guidance in leading you to what the Lord desires for you this year. Ask for courage and perseverance to lead a life centered on Christ, even when it seems too difficult. She will walk with you in your journey, providing gentle love and comfort.
